On November 24, in the Shardara reservoir of the Turkestan region, two men born in 1944 and 1953 lost their bearings on the water during night fishing on an inflatable boat and got lost. Thanks to the prompt actions of rescuers, the fishermen were found 10 km from the place of departure and brought ashore. They don't need medical help.
In the Alakolsky district of the Zhetisu region, due to a snowstorm, blizzard and zero visibility, traffic was temporarily closed for all types of transport on the section of the republican highway "Usharal - Dostyk" (84-164 km). On one section of the road, rescuers evacuated eight people, including two children, from four cars caught in a snow drift. The rescued were taken to the nearest settlement. They didn't need medical help.
The Ministry of Emergency Situations urges to observe safety rules in winter, safety measures in reservoirs when fishing, monitor changes in weather conditions, traffic restrictions on the roads!
